Florida-bred Made to Love Her has not won a race in more than a year, but she hopes to change her luck in today's $125,000 What a Summer Stakes at Laurel Park.

The 4-year-old daughter of Stevie Wonderboy only raced three times in 2012. She finished third in her last race, the Wila on the Move Stakes at Laurel in December. That performance came after a more than 9-month layoff.

She is listed at odds of 5-1 in the 6-furlong dirt race and will break from the No. 2 post position.

Made to Love Her was bred by Sienna Farms and has earned more than $150,000.

The favorite is Bold Affair, at odds of 6-5. The 5-year-old daughter of Two Punch has won two of her last three races. She finished third her last time out in the Thirty Eight Go Go Stakes at Laurel.

The What a Summer is scheduled for 3:55 p.m. and is race No. 8 in the program.

Newly 3-year-old and Florida-bred This is How makes her stakes debut in the $100,000 Gasparilla Stakes at Tampa Bay Downs.

The daughter of Indian Charlie was bred and is owned by Charlotte Weber's Live Oak operation in Ocala. She is listed at 9-2 in the 7-furlong Gasparilla.

The filly has raced four times, winning twice. In her last race, she won an allowance optional claiming test in late November at Laurel Park.
